• Caroline and her children

    • Following are a few pictures from a beautiful family.  Caroline's parents are good friends of my parents, they're some of the sweetest people and always so much fun to be around. Unfortunately, the dad was out playing tennis when I took the pictures. The yard is just amazing, typical of the south of France, with gorgeous flowers and lots of little areas, a paradise backdrop for a family session.The 2 boys,Their dog, Jack, thinks he's human, once while sitting at their dinner table, I saw him [...]

  • Paris workshop 6

    • A few more pictures from Montmartre and in front of the Moulin Rouge,We bought so many tickets to each get a ride on the carousel, and take several pictures,Our last big "field trip" was to go to Versailles, unfortunatly we discovered they have rigid rules and it would have been impossible for us to use our cameras, beside the tourist flow would have been overwhelming.  Instead we went to Maisons-Laffitte's castle, which isn't all that popular, although magnificient, and we had the place just ab [...]

    • More picture of my super models,Boy, does she have a killer smile!I've been in France for 6 weeks now, and it's time for us to return to Henry, we all miss him terribly.  I'm very fortunate to have had a long visit with my family.That's it, I'll enjoy having these when I return to the US, I probably won't get to see them for at least a year, my brother and his family live in Africa.

  • Jessika and Pauline

    • These beautiful girls are my niece, blond, and her friend, brunette. After the Paris workshop I can't stay "tranquil" and I'm constantly looking around for subjects to photograph, so I hired Jess and Pauline for some practice, they did great and I had fun.  Here are some of my favorites,My mother dressed Jess with a tunique brought back from a trip to India,It seemed at first that Jess was a little camera shy, but she quickly warmed up,Pauline, on the other hand was much more comfortable in fro [...]

I really appreciated the opportunity to try new equipment.Leaving [...]
